An analysis of 3-dimensional magnetic field distributions in a small-sized synchronous motor with a permanent magnet rotor

This paper describes an analysis of 3- dimensional magnetic field distributions in a small-sized synchronous motor with a permanent magnet rotor and a simulation of the rotor behavior. Here, the concept of a surface magnetic charge is introduced, and then the magnetic field distributions are computed by using the integral equation method. Next, the rotor displacement is computed by using Newmark's β-parameter method. By the use of these techniques, simulation of the rotor behavior is performed. The results of the simulation are examined in contrast to those of the experiments.
